Yeah... there was an article in the Merc on this guy... I read it Wednesday I think... maybe it was Thursday morning. Sounds like he got caught red handed.... He admitted guilt. He was a Petaluma employee (either Fibex or Cerent I would guess). It happens.
How about this. I would appear that the upcoming demise of CSCO is being overstated. Or perhaps CSCO management doesnt' understand that the company is supposed to be topped out.

From New England to Coyote Valley, Cisco is expanding
BY MAUREEN FAN Mercury News New York Bureau
NEW YORK -- Ten miles south of downtown San Jose, housing and environmental groups have launched a petition drive to try and stop Cisco's plans for a 20,000-worker campus in semi-rural Coyote Valley.
Nearly 3,000 miles away, residents of tiny Boxborough, Mass., have voted overwhelmingly to welcome the networking giant and its plans for a 580-acre campus, which will double the population during the day of the one-school, one-library town about 40 minutes from Boston.
``To us, it's filled a void,'' said Natalie Lashmit, town administrator for Boxborough, population 4,800. ``We don't even have a town center. We're trying to develop one. For this town, economic development and appropriate economic development was very critical.''
As San Jose's largest corporate employer continues to grow at breakneck speed, its expansion plans outside the South Bay are increasingly viewed as an economic boon to communities hungry for the success of Silicon Valley and its so-called ``clean'' technology. From Raleigh, N.C. to Richardson, Texas, Cisco Systems Inc. is buying up and building out in order to find talented employees and get closer to customers.
